Steppin' On a Rainbow

Alone in his New York loft, the private detective Kinky Friedman reflects on friendship and why all his friends are out of town. Feeling a little melancholy, his mind turns to Stephanie DuPont - very hot but pretty much resistant to all his advances. The phone rings and Kinky's old contact Hoover from Honolulu is on the blower to report that Kinky's great friend Mike McGovern has disappeared while in the process of researching and writing his cookbook, Eat, Drink and Be Kinky (now also available from Faber). Our hero files to Hawaii with Miss DuPont, and in a series of farcical wild goose chases Kinky ends up visiting the local museum, where in a room full of ancient relics he stumbles upon a full-size sculpted wooden head that is a dead ringer for McGovern. But what on earth can a bust of an ancient high chief have in common with Kinky's missing friend?
